Description

WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol 

The WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol represents the pinnacle of performance and modern ergonomics in the 4.5mm (.177 caliber) BB replica market. Carrying the model designation WE-45-G008B-BK, this pistol is a faithful reproduction of the competition-grade G34 platform, enhanced with the distinct ergonomic features of the Generation 4 design. This extended model is favored by target shooters for its longer sight radius, which significantly aids in aiming precision. Combining a full-metal slide with the high-functionality of a Co2 blowback system, the WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol offers an intense, realistic shooting experience unmatched by non-blowback alternatives.

Generation 4 Ergonomic Upgrades

The most significant distinction between this model and the Gen 3 is the frame itself. The WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol incorporates several key Gen 4 features that enhance shooter comfort and control:

• Interchangeable Backstraps: The Gen 4 frame is designed to be highly customizable, typically including multiple backstraps (Small, Medium, Large). This allows shooters to adjust the grip circumference to perfectly fit their hand size, resulting in a more comfortable and secure hold.

• RTF (Rough Textured Frame): The grip texture is often more aggressive and features a small pyramid-like pattern. This enhanced stippling provides superior grip retention, especially when hands are wet or gloved.

• Enlarged Magazine Catch: The magazine release button is typically larger and reversible, providing quicker and easier magazine changes—a crucial feature for competitive or rapid-fire shooting drills.

Performance, Accuracy, and Blowback

The competition-length barrel and slide of the WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol maximize the potential for accuracy. The extended sight radius is key, minimizing aiming error downrange. The Co2 power source (utilizing standard 12g cartridges) is housed within the full-metal magazine, providing consistent, high-pressure gas delivery.

This results in a strong, satisfying blowback action that cycles the metal slide with every shot, mimicking the recoil of the real firearm. Typical velocities range between 320 and 350 FPS (Feet Per Second) with 4.5mm steel BBs, making it powerful enough for reactive targets and sustained plinking sessions. The slide reliably locks back on the last shot, completing the realistic operational cycle.

Tactical and Training Utility

The G34’s design and the Gen 4 upgrades make this air pistol an exceptional training aid:

• Accessory Rail: The integral 20mm Picatinny rail on the dust cover allows for the mounting of tactical lights or lasers, essential for realistic low-light training drills.

• Authentic Takedown: The ability to field-strip the pistol authentically allows for maintenance practice and familiarity with the internal workings, a huge benefit for real-steel firearm owners.

• Competition Features: The mock ported slide reduces weight and contributes to its fast-handling characteristics, while the improved grip texture ensures that the shooter maintains control during rapid-fire strings.

The robust construction and consistent operation of the WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol ensure it can withstand the repetitive use demanded by serious trainers or frequent recreational shooters.

Maintenance and Longevity

To ensure the longevity of your WE-45-G008B-BK, focus on two areas: the blowback system and the Co2 seals. Apply silicone oil regularly to the slide rails to maintain smooth cycling, and add a drop of oil to the tip of each new Co2 cartridge before insertion. This keeps the internal seals lubricated and prevents gas leaks over time. Given the high-quality alloy slide and polymer frame, the WE G34 Gen 4 CO2 Air Pistol is built for years of dependable use.
